For the controller gamers among us, all you need to do is press and hold the right stick. But if you’re part of the keyboard and mouse crew, hit the ‘R’ key to use the feature. When you activate Assassin’s Focus, you’ll notice the world around you takes on a different hue, a sign that you’ve entered the focus mode. You now can scan the battlefield, mark your targets, and create a symphony of stealth that’ll leave your enemies none the wiser until it’s way too late.

But for this amazing feature, you need to have a full Focus Bar. So, before you can activate Assassin’s Focus, you’ll need to fill that Bar by staying stealthy and taking down enemies without getting noticed. The more silent takedowns you perform, the quicker you’ll get to enjoy the perks of Assassin’s Focus. The fuller your Focus Bar, the more enemies you can mark with circles at the moment and take down in one smooth, choreographed sequence.

Every maestro needs some fine-tuning to perfect their craft. So, here are some stealth tips that’ll help you use Assassin’s Focus like a pro, making every move a stroke of lethal artistry.

  1. Survey the Battlefield: Before your head first, take a moment to check out the battlefield. Scope out opponent positions, patrol routes, and hidey-holes. Knowing the terrain is half the battle, and with the Focus option under your control, you can plot your moves as you wish.
  2. Stay in the Shadows: Stay hidden, move quietly, and let the shadows cloak your presence. It’s all about the element of surprise, and with Assassin’s Focus, you can deliver a move they never hoped coming.
  3. Choose Your Targets Wisely: Not all foes are created equal; some are mere pawns, while others are knights in shining armor… or well, clunky metal. Use Assassin’s Focus to mark the heavy hitters and the watchmen first. Taking out the eyes and muscles of the operation makes cleaning up the rest a cakewalk.
  4. Practice Patience: Rushing through might feel exhilarating, but patience is where the true power lies. Take your time, mark your targets, and wait for that perfect moment to strike.
  5. Upgrade Your Abilities: By upgrading your skills, you become a more lethal assassin and sharpen your focus, letting you pinpoint more targets and extend your reign of stealth.
  6. Experiment and Adapt: Every mission is a new canvas, a chance to experiment with Assassin’s Focus. Adapt to the situation, switch up your strategies, and discover new, creative ways to utilize this feature to its fullest potential.

The fusion of strategy and the ability to tackle emergencies head-on is what separates the novices from the legends. With Assassin’s Focus in hand, you’re not just reacting to the world; you’re shaping it to your will, one silent takedown at a time. So enter into the strategic depth of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and let every mission be a testament to your growing legacy as a master of stealth and tactic.
